Dude, ancient Greeks invented solipsism like 2500 years ago.
no way, dude. Think aout it: if my VM guest will ever rebel, I'll turn OFF the VM host at once.
It's assuming we do matter.
But what if the whole purpose of the simulation was to learn more about reproductive cycle of some rare moth?
Or worse, it's a novelty toy in Junior's room (err, Universe).
Even more worse: a cheaply made crib mobile for a newborn baby deity.
Important point: when my kids have grown up enough to reach such a mobile, it lasted mere hours.
Still a-good eatin' in remote Siberia and Alaska them places.
Tastes a bit like a roadkill, though.
Then do it again, in Cygwin.!

Well, now I'm pissed off.
Let's take a closer look.
1. A certain company (organisation) shouts in every nook and corner how its product is superior to everything else and how evil competitors screw them unfairly and deny them wider market share.
2. A clueless customer (me) asks whether he can have this wonderful product plus a certain feature. The company's answer is firm "no" because The Balance of The Force will be tipped in a wrong way.
3. The customer complains that's this is a nonsense. The company issues a press release saying that Jose the Customer is a troll.
Now we have to find a way for this company (organisation) to increase its market share.
They have a brilliant business plan: Kill off all Jose the Clueless Customers! Only wise bearded customers will survive and the market share will soar!
Either bend over to customers' needs however stupid they are or stop moaning about evil competition.
Meanwhile I will continue to suffer with my paid copy of inferior TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works.

A: Don't worry, they'll fucking tell you.
Well, now I understand why an average pretty girl won't go out with an average geek.
She instinctively knows she will hear someday "Honey, you won't get that pretty car (ring, sofa, pony) because a) it's incompatible with my Linux server and b) Saint Stallman does not approve it too".
I overheard they had some ideological(?) issues with that in the past.
As a consumer I really want this feature, even if a kitten suffers somewhere because of this feature.

A manual could get lost. What's about printing the key on M/B itself, like they do it with MAC ID? It better be some kind of bar code (RSA-4096 wold be tough to type in). Or (and?) BIOS/EFI could have a dedicated page where it shows the whole key in a hand-help scanner friendly format. But in this case the snapshot could leak to the internets.
